A recent trip to a friend's birthday celebrations in Palm Beach, Florida, gave your editor the opportunity to attend the Grade II Fountain of Youth Stakes for three year olds at Gulfstream Park, in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The Fountain of Youth is a prep for the Florida Derby as well as the Kentucky Derby.

The winner of this year's running - the 63rd renewal - was won by Edward P. Evans Quality Road, trained by James A. Jerkins and ridden by John Velazquez.
(Quality Road is pictured at the right winning the Fountain of Youth.)

The favorites, Notonthesamepage and Capt. Candyman Can finished off the board while Theregoesjojo (Kent Desormeaux) and Beetovan (Calvin Borel) finished second and third respectively. (Quality Road ridden by John Velazquez is pictured below center in the Winner's Circle.)

On Sunday your editor was able to attend the $150,000 CN CSIO Grand Prix at Wellington, Florida a report of which will follow shortly.
